Scottie Scheffler closed out his second Masters victory on Sunday in dominant style.
With just a one-stroke advantage on the first tee that was quickly wiped out, the World No.1 had to show all of his quality and consistency to rise above his rivals – going on to win by four from Ludvig Aberg after a vintage back-nine display.
The success not only earned him another Green Jacket and the iconic Masters trophy, but also a check for $3.6 million.
In his post-tournament press conference, Scheffler paid tribute to his faith and to his family as his wife Meredith prepares to welcome the couple’s first child.
Meanwhile, on social media, thousands of people congratulated the 27-year-old on his third win in his past four starts – following success at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, The Players Championship, and now, The Masters.
The Masters’ official X account kicked off the toasting session with a video of the moment Scheffler sank the winning putt and his immediate emotion. The PGA Tour’s account later did similar.
